Answer:
72°
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of adjacent angle of parallelogram=180°
Let us take the adjacent angle as x
∴The original angle will be 2x/3
∴2x/3+x=180°
Equalizing the denominator,
2x+3x/3=180°
5x/3=180
5x=180×3
5x=540
x=540/5
x=108°
∴2x/3=108×2/3=72°
Since the opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal
The measures of the 4 angles are 72°,108°,72°,108°
∴The measure of smallest angle is 72°

Answer:
72°
Step-by-step explanation:
adj angles of parallelogram are supplementary
x + y = 180°
x = 2/3y
2/3y + y = 180°
5y/3 = 180°
y = 108°
x = 180° - 108° = 72°
smallest angle = x = 72°
